SAMPLE REPORT
1244 Gut Permeability-META® (Stool)
Gut Function Assessment provides evaluation of the digestive function, immune function maintenance, mucosal integrity, inflammatory status, and gluten tolerance of the gastrointestinal system. It can accurately reflect intestinal inflammation responses, differentiate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) & Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), assess pancreatic digestive function, identify bloating or diarrhea caused by gluten sensitivity, and evaluate intestinal immune function risks. This comprehensive information on gut health helps physicians accurately diagnose complex cases and provide more appropriate healthcare.
SAMPLE REPORT
Testing Content
Digestive issues are one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. Recent studies have found that gastrointestinal dysfunction may be related to various non-gastrointestinal diseases, such as emotional regulation disorders, mental fatigue, endocrine imbalances, autoimmune diseases, or allergic conditions.
| Gastrointestinal Dysfunction | Extra-Gastrointestinal Indicators | Specific GI Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Indigestion Diarrhea Gas / Bloating Recent use of antibiotics Gastrointestinal infection / dysbiosis | Osteoporosis Diabetes Arthritis Autoimmune disease Chronic fatigue Abdominal pain | IBS IBD Pancreatic insufficiency |
Gut Function Health Assessment Test Applications
- Gut Permeability-META®
Zonulin can bind to receptors located on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells, triggering a cascade of reactions that loosen the tight junctions between digestive tract mucosal cells. This leads to increased intestinal permeability, allowing partially undigested substances to pass through the intestinal mucosa and activate an immune response. This test can be used to evaluate the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier.
Key information provided by gut function assessment includes
- Zonulin can bind to receptors on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells, causing the tight junctions between mucosal cells of the digestive tract to loosen. This results in increased intestinal permeability, allowing partially undigested substances to pass through the intestinal mucosa and trigger an immune response.
